Land Bill Discussion.

LONDON, August 5.-In the commons this
evening, upon motion of BalfOur to recon-
nit the land bill Tor the discussion of certain
amendment clauses, Dillon urged that the
government should first explain the altera-
tlons they intended to introduce. He asked
why nothing was proposed for dealing with
arrears. BalfOur said the government was
willing to accept any workable proposal for
dealing with arrears provided that debts to
landlords be held equally as sacred as debts
to shopkeepers and others. Gladstone re-
fused to admit the justice of drawing a par
allel between arrears due landlords and ten
ants debts to other creditors. Smith con-
tended that Gladstone was simply urging the
government to give away money belonging
to other people, departing from principles
that parliament hitherto had steadfastly
maintained.
Parnell observed that all of Smiths argu-
ments might be used with equal effect
against the reduction which the government
proposed under pressure at the eleventh hour.
Dillon's proposal was rejected-lS0 to 129
Balfour' motion was accepted and section
was added to the bill extending the term for
the payment of arrears in lnstallments to the
land Commissioners The house then resumed
the report stage OF the land bill.
